Bit 7

Framing error flag

 

 

0

No error

 

 

1

Character received with low stop bit

PE

Bit 6

Parity error flag. When PENA = 0, PE is read as 0.

 

 

0

No error

 

 

1

Character received with parity error

OE

Bit 5

Overrun error flag. This bit is set when a character is transferred into

 

 

UxRXBUF before the previous character was read.

 

 

0

No error

 

 

1

Overrun error occurred

BRK

Bit 4

Break detect flag

 

 

0

No break condition

 

 

1

Break condition occurred

URXEIE

Bit 3

Receive erroneous-character interrupt-enable

 

 

0

Erroneous characters rejected and URXIFGx is not set

 

 

1

Erroneous characters received will set URXIFGx

URXWIE

Bit 2

Receive wake-up interrupt-enable. This bit enables URXIFGx to be set

 

 

when an address character is received. When URXEIE = 0, an address

 

 

character will not set URXIFGx if it is received with errors.

 

 

0

All received characters set URXIFGx

 

 

1

Only received address characters set URXIFGx

RXWAKE

Bit 1

Receive wake-up flag

 

 

0

Received character is data

 

 

1

Received character is an address

RXERR

Bit 0

Receive error flag. This bit indicates a character was received with error(s).

 

 

When RXERR = 1, on or more error flags (FE,PE,OE, BRK) is also set.

 

 

RXERR is cleared when UxRXBUF is read.

 

 

0

No receive errors detected

 

 

1

Receive error detected
